"Ms. Amy, Jones is here and he is bleeding baldly." Said George my gatekeeper.
"Ok I'll be down in a minute. Go ahead an call an ambulance." I said.
When I got down to the gate Jones was almost about to fall I couldn't let him it looked like he had been whipped five times. He had came here before but never this bad. We had to do something. I helped to keep him up. When the ambulance got there they asked me his name
I said "Jones Johns."
The paramedic "Does he have any family."
"Yes just his dad but he did this so can we keep him out of it."
" We will do our best." The paramedic said "what's your name young lady." While he helped me in the ambulance.
"Amy Lane, Jones if my best friend please help him."
I heard the talking.
"He is bleeding bad."
"Where does he live." One paramedic said.
"Across town in the subs. He walked all the way to my house about 3.2 miles." I said trying to keep my cool.
"He lost a lot of blood." That's when we arrived.
They rushed in with him. That's when the nurse informed me he was in a critical condition. I needed to tell the school about him and my father. I called my father while I walked to the school it was Monday. So they would still be open till five it was only four.
"Daddy, Jones is in the hospital I am worried he is in critical condition I'm on my way to school will you come and pick me up."
"Yeah I'll be at your school in 15 minutes" he said.
"Ok" that's when I got to school.
"Hello Amy what do you need." Said Mrs. Kelly
"Just have to tell you Jones will be out awhile. He is in the hospital" I said.
"Ok we will inform Mr. Andrews" she said. Mr Andrews is our principle.
When I walked outside dad was waiting I started to cry. He held me for a few minutes. Then for the first time in what feels like forever we prayed. "Dear Heavenly Father be over Jones as he goes through this endeavor and this trail and help us get through it also in Jesus name amen." I let out with faith that putting this in Gods hands will help. Then we left to go back to the hospital. "Are you ready to go back in yet." My dad said.
"No not yet." I said. I sat it the car for a while then opened my door and walked out.
When we got to the nurses station we ask if he is out of surgery they said he was and was is the ICU. We went to his room.

"Mr. Simeon Lane we have some questions to ask you." Doctor Teller said.
"Ok" he said as they walked out of the room.

"Hey Jones how are you doing" I said. I said quietly when he woke up.
"Better now I was in so much pain." He said " hey take a look at my chart for me ok."
He knows I got accept into Duke Universities medical program and is somewhat trying to humor me.
"Ok let me have a look." I see lost about 3 liters of blood that's bad. And it took a long time with a lot of heat to clot the blood. He's back is unstable. He's weak and will need to stay over night in ICU. Then he'll move to a room on the five floor under observation for at least five days before they will let him go his back needs time to heal. He'll stay about a week. I didn't tell him my predictions but the doctor came in and told him what I thought. Then they asked the method of payment. My dad and I shared a glance before he had the change of saying anything I said "I will".
A little while later he said that money is for college. Then I said " it was only 200,00 of it plus I got into Duke full ride for there medical program. Daddy please let me give the rest I have toward his college fund." Which is zero he and his dad struggle to survive paycheck to paycheck. When I live with my millionaire dad. I have a huge gated house.
"Amy" officer Haley Price said "are we pricing charges."
My dad said "Amy and I are but Jones..."
Jones cut him off saying "Yes for abuse account of son and wife and murder one of my mother."
"Okay I will write up a report." She said rather calmly.
Jones mom was murdered three months ago by Tom everyone new but there was no prove. The thing is Jones had plenty of prove but won't tell me what it is. It was scary for him and he was never the same.

I woke up the next day for school I didn't want to go but I am valedictorian with a perfect 4.0 for a GPA. I could not lose that at any cost. Plus if I did Jones would have my head for sure.
I go to a small school our high school only has 100 kids in all about 25 per grade. It a select school mostly the rich go but some really smart kids aka Jones get to go too. The second highest GPA is his at 3.95. It's great though he doesn't think so.

"Amy is it true" my best friend Molly said.
"Yeah he's hurt and not going back to his dads he'll have to say with me and dad." I said.
"O-my-word I am so sorry" said Katie. They both know this is a very pressing matter. I barely made it through the day. Let alone the whole week.
